Jim,
Depending on the system you get, you "might" get the OS. It depends a
great deal on the system and how it was sold into the used market. The
OS however is only the beginning. You won't have any of the licensed
software that goes along with IBM i. No compilers (except CL), PDM,
etc. The list of what you would get is much shorter than the list of
things you will need. Keep that in mind.

Check out iDevCloud.com <
http://www.idevcloud.com>. We will provide you
with all the tooling (except RDP which you have to get directly from
IBM) and licensed program products to play with. I think we have one
full partition available but more room on the shared partition. Priced
at just above our cost as a service to the community. Full Zend
Server, Full access to ProData's DBU and a couple of other products.

I'm considering looking for a used system to play around with at home. Does
the OS license stay with the hardware? Is it difficult to obtain media to
reinstall? I've seen these things on ebay all the time but im hesitant to
buy one and wind up with a boat anchor.
